Former White House strategist Stephen K. Bannon revealed in a Sunday interview that he believes it will take decades to drain the swamp of Washington, D.C.

The permanent political class, as represented by both parties youre not going to drain that in eight months, Bannon said during an interview with CBS News anchor Charlie Rose for 60 Minutes. Youre not going to drain it in two terms. This is going to take ten, 15, 20 years of relentlessly going after it.

in the old American west they would all be rounded up and hanged. As pissed off and disgusted at this criminal Congress as the American citizens seem to be, that shouldn't take too long to accomplish today.

Primary a few of their asses out of office and it will quickly become self-draining.

Let’s find out what the swamp dwellers know and are holding over their head... I am betting a whole bunch of them have skeletons that were thoroughly researched before they arrived, which would explain the sudden change they seem to undergo when they reach DC.

I know I am generally a good guy but there are certainly dark and fuzzy things in my past I would prefer not be splashed all over the front page. Like the time I drunkenly puked on a girls head that picked up in a bar and then made her walk home. (because she had puke all over her!) I’d hate for that to get out.

Is Bannon right?
Will it take decades to end the corruption in politics and government?

Heck yeah bannon is right?

I know we live in a “want it RIGHT NOW’ world but cmon........... is there anyone here who thought this would happen in one term? 2 terms?
The swamp is fully imbedded. Its a monstrosity and its not gonna willingly give up its power. This is gonna take multiple administrations and will probably take longer than a couple of decades because I’m sure we’ll have a democratic administration sprinkled in there.

Call me pessimistic but I’m not sure that we can ever drain the swamp. It’s too big, too pervasive, etc.

We can slow it down every now and then but the only way to eliminate would be a major upheaval - a revolution if you will. The American people are not ready for that. They only care about how many apps are on their smart phone or who’s gonna win this year’s version of “Dancing With The Stars”.

If you think of this as WWII, you could make the comparison that the GOP treachery on Obamacare was akin to Pearl Harbor. It woke us up and got us REALLY angry. Or maybe, got ENOUGH of us angry enough to NOT go back to sleep if offered a sweetie from the government tit.

But wars aren’t won in a day. To stretch the metaphor, we have to hypercharge our production of warships (candidates), train and equip an army (us), and most of all, gain the will to see this through to the end.

For the first time in the last 30 years, the swamp is in retreat, but if we become demoralized and give up, they win.
